Sony has long been in the business of pleasing fans of electronics, and in this case a Blu-ray disc player, but their latest model the BDP-S560 is turning heads. In this review we will investigate what exactly makes the model so appealing and how it stacks up against the competition.

For those who aren’t hip on the Blu-ray story, you might be surprised to hear that none other than Sony actually created the new format.

And as luck would have it, movie distributors have supported the Blu-ray format completely- giving customers a wide selection of media.

You couldn’t go wrong in choosing the BDP-S560 model from Sony. this particular model plays all of the DVD discs you currently have in your collection through backwards compatibility technology. It also allows you to play older formats such as the CD. Overall, it is hard to not pick the Sony BDP-S560 solely for its ability to play just about any media format, and any media contained within.

The interface of the Sony BDP-S560 has been highly praised by critics. While it is essentially a rehash of the PS3 interface, there is certainly nothing wrong with that! The menu can easily be navigated thanks to easy grouping of information. Even the elderly who are not well versed in technology could navigate the BDP-S560.

Sony also realized that the picture quality and storage options wasn’t what made the movie experience- but rather the sound had a large part to play. Sony, thus, decided to give the player compatibility with Dolby TrueHD, which is the next big format in sound quality and design. The format will essentially allow those with high definition audio to feel as if they are in a movie theater- without the ticket price of course.
